Severe injuries or chronic degenerative joint diseases require proven therapies like bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) therapy. BMAC uses a specific type of regenerative cells to help your body heal itself. The orthopedic and sports medicine physicians at Bluetail Medical Group in Chesterfield and Columbia, Missouri and Naples, Florida specialize in this state-of-the-art regenerative medicine technique that can help your bones, cartilage, and joints heal quickly and thoroughly.
What is Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate?
Bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) is created using the fluid and cells from your bone marrow. Your bone marrow is rich in regenerative cells that can develop into many different types of cells, including bone, cartilage, and other tissues. During a BMAC procedure, your physician harvests a small amount of bone marrow and then concentrates it to increase the number of regenerative cells. The concentrated BMAC is then injected into the area that needs healing.
How is BMAC Therapy Performed?
Your physician performs BMAC therapy in the office under local anesthesia. First, they numb the area from which they'll harvest the bone marrow, typically from the hip bone. They withdraw a small amount of bone marrow using a specialized needle and then process it to concentrate the regenerative cells. Using ultrasound guidance, they inject the concentrated BMAC into the damaged or injured area.
What Conditions Can BMAC Treat?
BMAC therapy is effective for treating severe injuries and chronic degenerative conditions, including arthritis, cartilage damage, tendon and ligament injuries, and bone defects. To learn if BMAC therapy can help relieve your chronic condition, call or schedule a consultation online.
